So far, I have yet to read any editorials suggesting that George Bush step down, not even after Bush proudly admitted to breaking the law.
Newspapers Urge President to Quit:
...Still, it amazes me when people make fun of the very notion that a president under a dark cloud might be asked to leave office, or given a push, in light of the very recent experience involving one William Jefferson Clinton. This seems especially poignant, in light of President Clinton leaving office with an approval rating over 60%, while the current occupant of the White House sits at around 40%. Then there's the perennial debate over the relative demerits of fooling around with an intern vs. fooling an entire country into going to war based on false evidence (and anything else you'd care to add on top of that).
... Here is that AP partial list of newspapers calling for Clinton to quit (other papers no doubt joined in later):

You know, I haven't read any editorials saying he should step down either. Maybe they all assume he will NEVER step down on his own, but must be removed. Which is a little odd since bush2 has quit everything that wasn't easy his whole life. Weird, and we get to live through it. Oh well.
In truth, as much as I'd like to see bush2 out of the WH, Cheney and those after him in line ain't lookin' much better to me.
Happy new year, guys.
